AI 速览：作者提出统一测试框架 uni-robot-agent，使开放权重模型可开展机器人使用智能体研究并支持后续训练，报告开箱即用的 Qwen3.8-Flash-Next 在 RoboDojo 上取得 31.39 分。
Robot-use Agents (RUAs) have shown promising zero-shot manipulation capabilities, but reliance on frontier, proprietary models limits research into further training. To democratize RUA research, we introduce uni-robot-agent, a unified harness for competitive open-weight robot use that supports further training. Without privileged inputs, an out-of-the-box Qwen3.8-Flash-Next achieves a RoboDojo Score of 31.39, surpassing the published GPT-6 Astra-RoboProbe result of 28.97 and many VLA/WAM baselines, and performs competitively on 19 real-world tasks. Our analysis across model generations, families, and sizes links effective robot use to four general capabilities, suggesting that future RUA training should develop them jointly.
Context parallelism (CP) partitions long sequences across GPUs for LLM training and inference. For variable-length training and full prefill, attention-balanced placement can leave token loads uneven, while ring execution repeats overhead at each computation and communication step. In stage-serialized decode CP (DCP), long-running tasks delay dependent work and leave substantial GPU hardware idle. We propose LiquidCP, which unifies training and inference through a common model of Transfer, Compute, and Reduction tasks with tile-level dependencies, decoupling attention tasks from communication and kernel boundaries. For training and full prefill, MegaRing incorporates BuddyRing placement to balance attention and token loads, and coalesces ready KV regions during forward attention to amortize overhead. For decoding and mixed batches, MegaDCP selects history-KV splits by jointly modeling the completion of attention and its dependent reductions. A shared persistent GPU-resident engine executes both designs. Compared with the fastest baseline per configuration on eight H100 GPUs, MegaRing achieves geometric-mean core-attention speedups of $1.23\times$ forward and $1.18\times$ backward, and accelerates a Transformer layer by $1.08$--$1.16\times$. MegaDCP achieves geometric-mean core-attention speedups of $1.20\times$ for decode-only and $1.35\times$ for mixed batches. In vLLM serving with KV prefix cache, it achieves an average time-to-first-token speedup of $1.22\times$.

Parallel decoding speeds up masked diffusion language models by writing several tokens per forward pass. Published commit rules choose these tokens by testing the predicted distributions. Under sampling the written tokens are drawn, and these tests do not see them. We find that answer quality follows the reliability of the tokens actually written. An answer's log probability splits into this reliability and the dependence within each step. We propose PACT, a training-free commit rule that draws the tokens first, certifies the set it will write and spaces the positions of each step apart. This certificate holds at every temperature, and we show that no rule with the same guarantee commits more positions. Experiments use four models of the LLaDA and Dream families and HumanEval, MBPP, GSM8K, MATH500 and IFEval benchmarks. PACT reaches the quality of published commit rules with fewer forward passes. Spacing removes positions from each step, yet it usually lowers the total cost because later steps then write more tokens. At the same speed, published decoders also write a word twice in a row far more often than PACT. These results suggest that commit rules should certify the tokens they write. Code is available at https://github.com/LiZaiyuan0619/PACT.
Knowledge is how understanding accumulates across people and generations: durable records that outlive their producers and that others can check, combine, teach, and correct. AI agents are now built and run by many independent users and organizations, and each agent is upgraded, replaced, or retired within months. Yet what an agent learns stays trapped in model parameters, a transient context window, or a system-specific memory store that is appended to and retrieved from rather than processed. We argue that the next generation of AI should be knowledge-centric, built around an explicit, continuously evolving knowledge layer independent of any single agent. In this loop, agents discover knowledge from their environments and trajectories; the layer internalizes it by turning fragmented, heterogeneous records and experience into composable, revisable understanding; and agents across systems and generations use the result and return new outcomes for revision. While discovery and use have advanced rapidly with large language model agents, internalization remains the bottleneck. We argue that internalization should become a persistent object of training and maintenance-centered on condition-preserving conceptualization of events and deductive, inductive, and abductive reasoning across noisy, heterogeneous representations (text, tables, graphs, rules, and programs). To power this layer, we call for knowledge foundation models that provide shared neural capacity for knowledge computation, and outline a research agenda showing how an explicit knowledge layer delivers reuse, cost efficiency, auditability, and continuity across agent generations.

TLAPS-Bench is a benchmark and execution harness for constructing machine-checked proofs for real-world system specifications in TLA+ with agentic AI. Proving correctness of complex system specifications requires discovering inductive invariants, reasoning about intricate state transitions, and decomposing proofs into tractable obligations. TLAPS-Bench provides a proof harness that supports iterative proof development atop the TLA+ Proof System (TLAPS), where agents are equipped with proof tools and libraries, with safeguards against reward hacking. Using the harness, we have employed AI agents to prove desired properties for important system specifications that were not proved before, spanning cache coherence, Byzantine consensus, and write-ahead logs. TLAPS-Bench contains 265 proof targets (each encodes a property to prove) from 95 TLA+ specifications of real-world systems. We evaluated frontier AI agents, represented by Codex with GPT models, on a subset of 70 proof targets across 12 specifications. The highest-scoring model, GPT-6.1 Sol (max), proved 31 (44.3%) proof targets. The results show challenges and opportunities in end-to-end proof development.

Physical-layer key generation (PLKG) exploits reciprocal channel dynamics to generate symmetric keys, addressing the key distribution problem in wireless communications. However, strong temporal correlation in slow-fading environments limits fresh randomness and results in low key generation rates. Movable antennas (MAs) introduce spatial degrees of freedom through antenna repositioning, providing a new approach to addressing the limitation. This paper investigates MA-assisted PLKG over temporally correlated channels. A first-order Gauss-Markov process is utilized to characterize the temporal correlation of multipath gains. We characterize the full-sequence mutual information (MI) over temporally correlated channels. For fixed antenna positions and beamforming, we establish a finite-horizon approximation error bound that vanishes as both effective signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) increase. We derive a closed-form expression for the one-step conditional MI and adopt it as a tractable key-information metric. A nonconvex problem is formulated to jointly optimize antenna positions and per-slot beamforming under transmit-power and minimum-spacing constraints. We develop an alternating optimization algorithm, combining an exact principal-eigenvector beamforming solution with feasible SCA-based projected gradient position updates. Simulation results demonstrate that the MA-assisted scheme outperforms the fixed-position antenna baseline. At a high temporal correlation coefficient, position optimization achieves approximately $51\%$ higher rates than fixed antennas. Joint position and beamforming optimization provides a further $106\%$ gain over position optimization alone, demonstrating more pronounced gains under strong temporal correlation.

LLM pretraining is increasingly compute-intensive, while substantial inference serving compute remains idle during off-peak periods. However, such serving hardware is difficult to use for conventional first-order training due to its memory, networking and other system requirements. Zeroth-order (ZO) optimization offers a natural interface to this forward-only compute resource, but its gradient estimates break down in pretraining. Unlike fine-tuning, which can confine updates to a small parameter subspace, pretraining must update every parameter, and the alignment of a ZO gradient estimate with the true gradient shrinks as the number of updated parameters grows. We make a different observation: noisy ZO estimates can still provide useful curvature information, even when they are too inaccurate to serve as gradients. Based on this insight, we propose ZO-Curv, which leverages idle forward-only devices to estimate curvature and uses it to adapt and refine the update used during first-order training, thereby accelerating the process. We provide convergence guarantees that characterize the effect of finite-query curvature estimation. Experiments on LLMs from 125M to 1.5B parameters show that ZO-Curv consistently accelerates pretraining. At 770M parameters, ZO-Curv reaches AdamW's 20K-step validation loss in 3.9 hours instead of 7.5 hours, while achieving a lower final loss of 2.70 versus 2.84 under the same step budget. These results show that idle model serving compute can accelerate LLM pretraining when zeroth-order queries are used to estimate curvature rather than gradients directly.
Current medical artificial intelligence (AI) systems are often task-specific, poorly integrated, and difficult to interpret, limiting support for multimodal clinical workflows. We developed and evaluated EyeAgent for ophthalmic decision support. EyeAgent comprises three layers including 54 task-specific EyeTools, 32 clinical skills, and a modular large language model reasoning core with interchangeable backbones. A multi-level evaluation distinguished this scope from empirical system-level validation. Component-level evaluation assessed newly developed models on held-out splits of datasets totaling 871,862 samples. System-level evaluation included illustrative cases of workflow breadth, a 200-case expert-rating study of output quality, and an exploratory multicenter reader study comparing unassisted and EyeAgent-assisted performance among 27 ophthalmologists from 11 centers. Skill-level and backbone ablations further assessed orchestration and robustness. In illustrative cases, EyeAgent showed task-specific advantages over GPT-5.5 in lesion quantitation, cross-modality synthesis, and uncertainty-aware reporting. In the expert-rating study, EyeAgent achieved an F1 score of 0.84 for skill selection, with 82.7%-92.0% of outputs rated acceptable or better across six clinical dimensions. In the exploratory multicenter reader study, diagnostic accuracy increased from 72.8% unassisted to 91.9% assisted (difference, 19.1 percentage points (pp); 95% CI, 13.6-24.7; Holm-adjusted P<0.001). Report completeness increased from 55.8% to 75.6% (difference, 19.8 pp; 95% CI, 14.8-24.7; Holm-adjusted P<0.001). Across the evaluated settings, EyeAgent supported interpretable, evidence-guided reasoning and showed potential for human-AI collaboration. Broader real-world effectiveness and generalizability require prospective and cross-population validation.
This paper presents a multimodal generative model designed to simulate a solar energy plant system for predictive maintenance and fault prediction. We propose a novel approach to enhance system generation through conditional generation by leveraging both event sequences and time-series data and improve next event prediction. The framework employs a Transformer Hawkes Process (THP) to encode event data and an iTransformer to encode time-series data, integrated via a co-attention mechanism that effectively captures cross-modal dependencies between discrete events and continuous signals. From these integrated representations, we employ two specialized decoders for simulation: a Conditional Latent Diffusion Model (CLDM) for modeling future sensor trajectories and the Score Matching-based UnceRtainty quantiFication for Transformer Hawkes Process (SMURF-THP) for high-fidelity event prediction. This dual-decoder strategy supports uncertainty-aware, history-conditioned simulation by rolling the model forward for a specified number of generation iterations, producing finite stochastic scenarios rather than deterministic extrapolations over the full observational record. Evaluated on a comprehensive dataset from the Red Rock Solar Site in Arizona, our approach improves aggregate event-prediction F1 relative to baselines and supports applications in predictive maintenance, fault detection, and energy optimization for solar power systems.

Large Language Models (LLMs) exhibit powerful code generation abilities, fostering agentic systems to automate edge AI application development. However, existing agents typically operate via fixed agentic workflows and predefined design spaces, struggling to handle rapidly evolving demands of real-world scenarios (e.g., heterogeneous data modalities, diverse task pipelines). Unlike prior systems that treat LLMs mainly as code generators following rigid workflows, we fully exploit their reasoning capabilities to allow agents to determine their own workflows on the fly. To this end, we propose SE2, a self-exploring and self-evolving paradigm for adaptive edge AI development. Inspired by human learning processes, we distill development into four atomic operations (retrieve, reason, code, test), and empower agents to explore workflows by dynamically and adaptively selecting an appropriate next operation based on the current context. Extensive evaluations show that, with adaptive workflows, the synthesized programs achieve up to 26% higher accuracy and consume 28% lower resources than state-of-the-art baselines, while maintaining superior adaptability to unforeseen edge AI scenarios. This highlights the potential of reasoning-driven adaptive agentic workflow in edge AI development.

AI 速览：LucidLyra 从视频潜变量出发，以前馈方式生成可查询语义与实例的三维高斯场景，无需逐场景优化。
We present LucidLyra, a framework that makes generatively reconstructed 3D scenes directly queryable for semantics and instances in a feed-forward manner from video latents. While generative 3D reconstruction can synthesize virtual environments from a single image, downstream applications in robotics and physical AI require not only visual realism but also access to scene semantics and object identities. Existing 3D understanding approaches, however, require captured multi-view scenes, have limited generalization capabilities, or rely on expensive per-scene processing and optimization. To bridge this gap, our method distills complementary knowledge from a camera-controlled video diffusion model and frozen 2D vision foundation models into a unified model to jointly infer 3D Gaussians encoding geometry, appearance, open-vocabulary semantics, and class-agnostic instance cues. The resulting scenes support novel-view rendering, open-vocabulary segmentation, and object grouping without per-scene optimization, while training requires neither manual 3D annotations nor captured multi-view data. Our method outperforms baselines combining state-of-the-art 3DGS segmentation approaches with generative 3D scene reconstruction on curated synthetic and real-image-conditioned benchmarks, while preserving reconstruction quality. Furthermore, our latent formulation naturally extends to monocular video, reconstructing structured dynamic 3D scenes across time. By turning renderable but unstructured outputs into queryable 3D worlds, LucidLyra enables downstream applications including 3D scene editing, 3D asset mining, and robotic simulation.
Rotation equivariance is an important structural prior for a broad range of vision tasks, particularly in domains such as remote sensing and medical imaging where objects have no canonical orientation, yet it remains notably absent from current Mamba-based vision architectures. Despite the success of Mamba in natural language processing and its growing adoption in computer vision, existing visual Mamba models fail to account for rotational symmetry in their design. This omission renders them sensitive to image rotations, thereby constraining their robustness and cross-task generalization. To address this limitation, we incorporate rotation symmetry, an important geometric prior in many visual domains, into Mamba-based architectures. Specifically, we introduce EQ-VMamba, the first rotation equivariant visual Mamba architecture for vision tasks. The core components of EQ-VMamba include a carefully designed rotation equivariant cross-scan strategy and group Mamba blocks. Moreover, we provide a rigorous theoretical analysis of the intrinsic equivariance error, demonstrating that the proposed architecture enforces end-to-end rotation equivariance under the p4 rotation group. Extensive experiments across multiple benchmarks---including high-level image classification, mid-level semantic segmentation, and low-level image super-resolution---demonstrate that EQ-VMamba consistently improves rotation robustness and achieves superior or competitive performance compared to non-equivariant baselines on most benchmarks, while requiring 40-70% fewer parameters. These results indicate that embedding rotation equivariance not only effectively bolsters the robustness of visual Mamba models against rotation transformations, but also improves accuracy on data exhibiting rotational symmetry, with substantially improved parameter efficiency.

As LLMs expand their language coverage, evaluating how well they understand and represent diverse cultures becomes increasingly important. However, many benchmarks remain English-centric, with limited cultural coverage and a focus on factual knowledge over its application in real-world cultural contexts. We propose CulturalRiddles, a benchmark of original, culturally grounded riddles created entirely by humans through a participatory community effort, spanning 62 cultures (45 countries, 51 languages). These riddles are deeply rooted in their respective cultures and require abductive and compositional reasoning, alongside detailed factual and social knowledge, language skills, and an understanding of culturally specific associations. We benchmark 28 LLM configurations using both automatic and large-scale human evaluation. Even frontier models achieve at most 22% accuracy in some communities. We publicly release all artifacts alongside an open contribution process to expand the benchmark's linguistic and cultural coverage.

Recent advances in generative AI have enabled assistants to generate increasingly sophisticated executable unit tests. However, novices may accept these outputs without independently identifying what to test, evaluating test-suite completeness, or verifying correctness, potentially limiting opportunities to develop essential testing skills. Although prior work has explored AI-assisted test generation and feedback-oriented programming tutors, little is known about whether AI can support novices' testing practices without generating tests for them. To investigate this, we introduce TestCompass, a generative AI tutor that provides targeted feedback on weaknesses in students' test suites without generating executable tests. In a classroom study with 18 students, we compared TestCompass with a general AI assistant across two Java unit-testing tasks, examining students' testing behaviors, test-suite quality, and subjective experiences. We found that participants using the general-purpose AI assistant produced more tests, whereas TestCompass participants spent more time developing and verifying tests themselves. However, most test-suite quality measures were comparable between conditions, and TestCompass participants achieved similar requirement coverage with significantly fewer test methods ($p=0.012$) in one task. Neither group reported short-term improvements in perceived testing knowledge or confidence. These findings suggest that feedback-oriented AI can support meaningful testing outcomes while preserving opportunities for hands-on testing practice, offering a complementary approach to AI-assisted testing education.
Multi-Turn Long-Form Question Answering (MT-LFQA) is a key application paradigm of Large Language Models (LLMs) in knowledge-intensive domains. However, existing benchmarks are limited to single-turn dialogue, while multi-turn dialogue benchmarks typically assess other orthogonal capabilities rather than knowledge-intensive factuality. To bridge this critical gap, we introduce \textbf{KnowMT-Bench}, a new benchmark designed to systematically evaluate MT-LFQA for LLMs across knowledge-intensive fields, including medicine, finance, and law. To faithfully assess the model's real-world performance, KnowMT-Bench employs a dynamic evaluation setting where models generate their own multi-turn dialogue histories given logically progressive question sequences. Our experiments on a diverse suite of LLMs show a clear degradation in both factual capability and information delivery efficiency in multi-turn dialogue. We further probe the underlying causes and investigate mitigation strategies spanning domain-specific finetuning, active context denoising, and RAG. The results show domain-dependent gains from finetuning, while active context denoising and RAG more consistently mitigate these issues, with RAG notably reversing this performance degradation. These findings underscore the importance of our benchmark for evaluating LLMs' conversational factual capabilities in real-world applications. Code and data are publicly available.\footnote{\href{https://github.com/Sven-LI-sankyuu/KnowMT-Bench}{\texttt{https://github.com/Sven-LI-sankyuu/KnowMT-Bench}}}

Building effective knowledge graphs (KGs) for Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is pivotal for advancing question answering (QA) systems. However, its effectiveness is hindered by a fundamental disconnect: the knowledge graph (KG) construction process is decoupled from its downstream application, yielding suboptimal graph structures. To bridge this gap, we introduce AutoGraph-R1, the first framework to directly optimize KG construction for task performance using Reinforcement Learning (RL). AutoGraph-R1 trains an LLM constructor by framing graph generation as a policy learning problem, where the reward is derived from the graph’s functional utility in a RAG pipeline. We design two novel, task-aware reward functions, one for graphs as knowledge carriers and another as knowledge indices. Across multiple QA benchmarks, AutoGraph-R1 consistently enables graph RAG methods to achieve significant performance gains over using task-agnostic baseline graphs. Our work shows it is possible to close the loop between construction and application, shifting the paradigm from building intrinsically ‘good‘ graphs to building demonstrably ‘useful‘ ones.

Code Language Models (CodeLLMs) traditionally learn attention based solely on statistical input-output token correlations (“machine attention”). In contrast, human developers rely on intuition, selectively fixating on semantically salient tokens during program comprehension. We present EyeMulator, a model-agnostic technique to align CodeLLM attention with human visual attention without architectural changes. By extracting scan paths from eye-tracking data, we derive token-level attention weights used to augment the loss function during fine-tuning. This induces the model to mimic human focus. Our evaluation across StarCoder, Llama-3.2, and DeepSeek-Coder shows that EyeMulator significantly outperforms baselines, achieving gains of over 30 CodeBLEU points in translation and up to 22 BERTScore points in summarization. Ablation studies confirm that these gains stem directly from replicating human attention dynamics. Artifacts are available at https://zenodo.org/records/17205682.

Large Language Models (LLMs) have revolutionized various fields, yet their training efficiency is heavily reliant on effective data curation. While data selection has been widely studied, the strategic data organization for enhanced training remains an underexplored area, particularly since current LLMs are often trained for only one or a few epochs. This paper systematically explores the influence of data organization on LLM training by reusing pre-computed sample-level scores originally generated for data efficiency, thereby incurring minimal additional computational overhead. We identify and formalize four key guidances for optimizing data organization: Boundary Sharpening, Cyclic Scheduling, Curriculum Continuity, and Local Diversity. Guided by them, we introduce two novel data ordering methods termed STR and SAW. Extensive experiments across different model scales and data sizes, encompassing both pre-training and SFT stages, validate the effectiveness of our summarized guidances. They also demonstrate the robustness of our proposed data ordering methods in enhancing the stability and performance of LLM training.

Recent advancements in Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have demonstrated impressive capabilities in interpreting single medical images. However, real-world clinical diagnosis is intrinsically a multi-view process, requiring the synthesis of information across volumetric slices, temporal sequences, and comparative modalities. Existing benchmarks fail to capture this complexity, limiting the assessment of models in realistic clinical workflows. To bridge this gap, we introduce MedMultiBench, the first large-scale benchmark specifically designed for medical multi-image understanding. Comprising 11,392 expert-curated samples, MedMultiBench evaluates MLLMs across four distinct dimensions: Joint Reasoning, Comparative Analysis, Comprehensive Perception, and In-Context Learning. We benchmark 13 state-of-the-art MLLMs, revealing that while current models excel in single-view tasks, they struggle significantly with multi-image contexts. Our experiments identify a performance degradation in open-source models when processing increased visual loads, whereas closed-source models demonstrate better scalability. MedMultiBench provides a robust framework to facilitate the development of MLLMs capable of holistic clinical reasoning.

Augmenting Transformers with linguistic structures effectively enhances the syntactic generalization performance of language models. Previous work in this direction focuses on syntactic tree structures of languages, in particular constituency tree structures. We propose Graph-Infused Layers Transformer Language Model (GiLT) which leverages dependency graphs for augmenting Transformer language models. Unlike most previous work, GiLT does not insert extra structural tokens in language modeling; instead, it injects structural information into language modeling by modulating attention weights in the Transformer with features extracted from the dependency graph that is incrementally constructed along with token prediction. In our experiments, GiLT with semantic dependency graphs achieves better syntactic generalization while maintaining competitive perplexity in comparison with Transformer language model baselines. In addition, GiLT can be finetuned from a pretrained language model to achieve improved downstream task performance. Our code is released at https://github.com/cookie-pie-oops/GiLT-LM.

Current paradigms for empowering Large Language Models (LLMs) with multilingual capabilities rely heavily on massive instruction tuning. We challenge this view, proposing that the barrier is topological alignment, not data quantity. We introduce Hybrid Cross-Alignment (HCA), fusing a frozen NLLB encoder with a Qwen decoder via a closed-loop dual-adapter architecture. HCA utilizes a Source-Side Adapter to precondition encoder features and a Query-Residual Adapter to preserve generative stability, bridged by an adaptive gated cross-modal interface. Our core discovery is Universal Alignment Generalization.” We demonstrate that training HCA on a single language pair (German-English) unlocks state-of-the-art zero-shot transfer to dozens of unseen languages. Crucially, our Oracle” experiments reveal that this single-pair training recovers over 96.7% of the performance achievable by training on all available pairs. This proves that a universal, language-agnostic projection protocol exists. With a total inference footprint of 5.25B parameters, our model significantly outperforms larger baselines, surpassing TowerPlus-9B (+9.0 COMET on low-resource languages) and Aya-101 (13B). Furthermore, performance scales linearly with encoder size; upgrading from 600M to 1.3B yields immediate gains (+3.4 points on Gujarati) with minimal retraining cost.

Current large language models (LLMs) often exhibit performance imbalances between dominant languages (e.g., English) and non-dominant ones due to the skewed distribution of pretraining data. A common strategy to address this issue is to enhance cross-lingual alignment, thereby facilitating non-dominant language processing. However, existing methods typically rely on additional training objectives or language-specific parameters, which increase training complexity and cost. In this work, we propose a selective bidirectional language projection framework that enables efficient multilingual alignment and language shift using the intrinsic parameters. Specifically, we first identify the layers most sensitive to language projection between non-dominant and dominant languages through neuron activation analysis. We then perform sequential language projection within the selected layers by mapping non-dominant representations into the dominant language space and reverting them before generation. The bidirectional projection benefits the subsequent instruction tuning in non-dominant languages. Experiments on seven benchmarks demonstrate that our method remarkably enhances the performance of non-dominant languages. Further analyses indicate that our method learns better internal representations and exhibits strong generalization capabilities.

We present AutoSchemaKG, a framework for fully autonomous knowledge graph construction that eliminates the need for predefined schemas. Our system leverages large language models to simultaneously extract knowledge triples and induce comprehensive schemas directly from text, modeling both entities and events while employing conceptualization to organize instances into semantic categories. Processing over 50 million documents, we construct ATLAS (Automated Triple Linking And Schema induction), a family of knowledge graphs with 900+ million nodes and 5.9 billion edges. This approach outperforms state-of-the-art baselines on multi-hop QA tasks and enhances LLM factuality. Notably, our schema induction achieves 92% semantic alignment with human-crafted schemas with zero manual intervention, demonstrating that billion-scale knowledge graphs with dynamically induced schemas can effectively complement parametric knowledge in large language models.

Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) have achieved remarkable performance on complex reasoning tasks by adopting the “think-then-answer” paradigm, which enhances both accuracy and interpretability. However, current LRMs exhibit two critical limitations when processing non-English languages: (1) They often struggle to maintain input-output language consistency; (2) They generally perform poorly with wrong reasoning paths and lower answer accuracy compared to English. These limitations significantly compromise the interpretability of reasoning processes and degrade the user experience for non-English speakers, hindering the global deployment of LRMs. To address these limitations, we propose M-Thinker, which is trained by the GRPO algorithm that involves a Language Consistency (LC) reward and a novel Cross-lingual Thinking Alignment (CTA) reward. Specifically, the LC reward defines a strict constraint on the language consistency between the input, thought, and answer. Besides, the CTA reward compares the model’s non-English reasoning paths with its English reasoning path to transfer its own reasoning capability from English to non-English languages. Through an iterative RL procedure, our M-Thinker-1.5B/4B/7B models not only achieve nearly 100% language consistency and superior performance on two multilingual benchmarks (MMATH and PolyMath), but also exhibit excellent generalization on out-of-domain languages.
